Bakery on O'Connell

This bakery is a true delight! The service is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh pastries, cakes, and bread that melt in your mouth. They offer vivid options, from classic favorites to creative treats that look as good as they taste. The ambience is cozy and cheerful, perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone who loves great bakery vibes!

Great bakery, fresh pastries and cakes. I enjoy seeing the new pie of the month, the loaded brisket mac n cheese is a winner for me, wish it was permanently on the menu! Love it how they do speciality donuts and cakes depending on the season/event/flavour phase. Recently tried their Christmas donut and it was sensational! The price is quite hefty unfortunately, it's expensive for bakery food but the convenience of having it open 24/7 is guess is the price you pay.

This uniquely 24-hour bakery hops through the night, providing a range of sweet treats and savoury staples to satiate late night travellers and avoid hangover. They cater well for vegans too- see special menu pic.The range is huge, and there's plenty of tables both inside and out to enjoy well priced comfort food... apple caramel baked cheese cake is super quality at $6 a slice. It's a dessert destination worth the cravings if near North Adelaide.

Tried their cheese kransky and chunky steak, bacon and cheese pie. Cheese krasnky was good- decent little dish. Definitely a must try for anyone visiting this bakery. The pie was not bad, however I did not notice the bacon or cheese in the pie. I enjoyed the tender chunky steak pieces. Paid $12 for the above, worth it. 7/10

I mean, this place is known as the go to bakery in Adelaide. The variety of food is epic, and the varying treats are always a hit. I wish I could eat here everyday but everything in moderation. I’ve been here stacks of times and it’s always on point. On our most recent visit though, we just got a mini choccy donut and the Golden Gaytime Berliner. We went after dinner so that was all we could manage lol. But seriously that Berliner was out of this world. Whether you’re looking for your standard bakery food like pies and sausage rolls, or a tasty sandwich or a sneaky treat, this place has you covered. An absolute must try bakery. Can’t wait to go back soon.

Fantastic place indoor and outdoor seating space. I tried only Coffee and it was one of the best coffee experiences. The staff is so friendly. There are heaps of other bakery items. Highly recommended place to hang out with friends and families.

After the hype and recommendations online this was a must try on the list while in Adelaide. Firstly, being open 24/7, that’s pretty cool for a bakery. Secondly, when you walk in you get cool bakery vibes - and you want to get something from there. We didn’t get their famous pie in soup but instead did get spinach cheese and tomato square which was great. Nice and hot and crispy pastry. We also got the viral San Sebastián cheesecake which was a bit of a disappointment because they’d put the chocolate on top when serving and it froze on the cake. While the cake was nice it wasn’t exceptional. Finally I ordered a mini caramel eclair, fresh cream, lovely caramel, terrible Choux pastry - it was hard. I love a good eclair! And this one was far from it- the eclair at a local bakery on the way to cape Jervis was excellent. I’d come here again to try their other stuff which, the place is buzzing so clearly they’re doing something right for a bakery, but I wouldn’t order stuff that’s not their core!

I've been here twice now. The first time on a quiet night, the 2nd time on a busy night. The staff are friendly and professional. The food is divine! There are more cheesecake flavours than I knew existed and all sorts of other cakes and pastries. Everything is top quality and completely delicious! They're open all the time, there's plenty of seating, and there are toilets on sites too.

Open 24/7. Staff is great. Large variety of menu items. Bright and cheery. Located in a quaint section of Adelaide.

Nice straight-forward old style bakery. Good coffee and wide variety of baked goods and pastries. Friendly staff.

Really good pies and doughnuts!!! Always packed and always something fresh being taken out of oven....it's drool worthy!!!

At 12 o'clock yesterday we decided to go on what we thought was going to be a delightful outing. Little did we know that this humble bakery experience would soon become one of the worst of our lives. I am extremely upset at the taste and texture of the custard tart, if you can even call it that. I was deflated. Firstly, the 'tart' tasted like a rubber glove. And texture, oh the texture! It had the texture of a hot cheese cake. I was bitterly disappointed and my internal organs displayed the harsh feelings of emesis. The O'connell 'shamozzel' was such a disappointment to my family that we posted this complaint of disgust to yelp.

What can I say about Bakery in O'Connell, it's a classic! With quality baked goods and open 24hrs you can't go wrong. After being here a few times though I gueas I can make some recommendations. -Their cronut cones are disappointing, they aojbd good in theory but theyre really too much and the cones are a bit dry (they have nothing on providore's Cronuts) -If you love Nutella there are a million different Nutella doughnuts!! -They also sell freah salads -Their custard slice is amazing!

O'Connell Bakery is an Adelaide Institution! A bit of background- a long time ago it used to be a regular bakery but demand grew to a point where they couldn't cope and changed to 24 hours. This year, it also got to the point where they had to move down the street to a new location. So yeah, this place is that good! The new store is so much nicer, looking cleaner and much more professional.It was good to see that they had the same huge selection of pastry available as before. I've been going every now and then for the past year and the consistency of their products is amazing. They have so many pastries but quality is not sacrificed. My default go to is the custard tart, and I can say with confidence that this is the best custard tart I've ever eaten. The custard is on another level, it's like creme patisserie on steroids. Thicker, smoother and richer than your standard creme pat, and they really tone down the vanilla flavour so you taste the egg more. I think they add heaps more than usual the amount of eggyolks to get that consistency. You can tell the're made fresh because the pastry is still crisp when you bite into it. Now I can't go back to the watery balfours custard tarts anymore. So about 85% I'll get the custard tart, but I've also tried a few other things. Tried the steak and pepper pie one time but I'm not the biggest meat pie fan so not much to comment on that. The nutella cronut was nice when the cronut craze was happening, don't know if they still have it. There's still so much to try but I don't anything can beat the custard tart. The donuts with whipped creams are solid. The price is what keeps me coming back. The custard tart is $3.50 per slice and hasn't increased in over a year. If I don't feel like blowing $30 at a cool, hip dessert cafe then I'll come here. I get that deconstructed plating and negative space and those trends are popular (not to mention molecular gastronomy) but not every place can pull it off. There's no faffing around on ceramic slates, a dozen tiny elements on said slate (although sometimes that can work), or 'artisan' 'housemade' 'foams' 'gelees' and the list goes on. You order, it comes on a plate and that's that, go and eat it! Absolutely no pretensions. Reasons why it gets a 5: very unpretentious, great selection of pastries, great quality all round, open 24/7, very reasonable prices...and BEST custard tarts around!

We always make time to come to O'Connell st bakery when ever we come to Adelaide !! It's our favourite food spot with something new to try every time !! Our favourite is always the chicken parmigiana pie. If you are local and want something new they have a pie of the month The staff are always friendly and the food is always fresh !! 10/10 !!

Great bakery, freshly made food open 24/7 and great vegan options! Family friendly dining and great outside seating too.

Friends & I found a place here in Adelaide! Their meat pies were delectable! Kept going back for more & actually got to dry 5 different flavors! Beef & was exactly that, not too much cheese, but just enough. Chicken parmi had a tomato base filled with treasures in every bit. Lamb, I loved & was actually very flavorful. All pies contained a thicker sauce, ample amounts of meat & nice thick/crispy crust that hit the spot. makes me hungry just thinking bout it. Thai roll also very flavorful if you're looking for vegan. Only disappointed that the Lamington did it have the jelly layer in the middle, but the Nutella bomb more then made up for it. Apricot flavored items had a bit of a bit, not overly sweet, but also didn't expect that bit of tang to come through.

Been getting our morning pre ride coffee Whilst in Adelaide for the tdu Good coffee and they are good are the group has all the usual coffee differences Also had a quick bit of pie and sandwiches Great selection of both Also a great selection of the sweet things to Pastries ,dohnuts vanilla slices To many to name Will be heading there again tomorrow

Their meat pies are so good! This place seemed very popular with the locals. They were always busy but they really moved through the lines. Always friendly as well. We were here for 3 nights and stopped by every day! I also loved the Nutella and salted caramel bombs. If you love sweets you'll love those.

Love this little bakery. All staff members are so friendly, especially Connie, who is so sweet, caring, and positive every time I come in.

Most eateries are closed 11pm Sunday nights except this bustling bakery. Great food at a very good price, plenty of seating, inside and out. Perfect for breakfast, late night munchies or anything inbetween.

I'll start by saying "bakery blahhh". I'm not a fan. Sure it's good for the brain but limited choice, standard baked goods, pastry upon pastry, sugar and more sugar, we can all do without bakeries, for ever. Except sometimes. Sometimes it's okay to go to one. Like after a lot of exercise, or after a big night out, or because you're curious, or you're with someone who is curious, or you don't have much money on you, or you get that bakery craving that you don't want but we all get. Doh. The O'Connell bakery doesn't stand out with its products. It's the classics and all the usual goods you'll find at most bakeries. But if that's what you're after then this is the place to go. It's clean, large and very busy. I drive past almost daily and only went there to get a late night coffee, and maybe a snack, so of course I had a snack. A very large Berliner with, I swear, more jam than comes in a standard 375gram jar!!! It could easily have done with half the amount and it still would have been lip licking jammy. My friend bought some caramel goodness which vanished very quickly and a very doughy chocolate doughnut which we shared. The coffee was surprisingly quite good and what was better when it was ready the waitress spotted us and brought out the coffees, even though there's no table service. For her I give 5 stars.

These guys are seriously good at what they do. They are open 24 hours for the shift worker or your post drink hunger pains. Quick service with a smile and I have always had great food - I guess because they keep on cooking! This time I had a sausage roll with a mini meat pie and mini donut. The sausage roll and mini pie were hot and just the right temperature. The sausage roll was not overwhelmed with pastry with a generous meat/pastry ratio. The mini donut was fresh and spongy with a delicious chocolate topping. Great service and great food!

I honestly can't think of a point against the Bakery on O'Connell. It's open 24/7, the food is delectable, the atmosphere warm and inviting with fresh flowers on the table and efficient staff to clean up as soon as someone leaves. Despite being a seemingly constantly busy bakery you're never in line long as there are multiple staff working the counter, making coffees or milkshakes or adding to their freshly baked goods. As well as the high number of hot foods ready to eat there are pies, cakes, slices, sausage rolls (you name it) pre wrapped for a quick dinner or a ready dessert. Bakery on O'Connell claim to have the best donuts in Adelaide. Well I for one can say that they certainly have the best donuts I've ever tasted (and I've traveled the world). They also have delicious cheesecakes, slices and honey bees. Not to mention their pie of the month at the moment - a beef, bacon and pork pie - was amazing! But don't take my word for it - get down there today and see what you've been missing out on

Great bakery. We stopped on a Saturday morning with a party of 5. We picked up several pies - chicken parmi, lamb, sausage and beef with peppers. All were excellent. Coffee was great as well - from the capachino to the large black.

It is what it is, been around forever and you know what your getting when you walk in the door. Can't fault the random pies of the month either.

Literally the best bakery in Adelaide! The fact it's open 24/7 makes it so convenient as a shift worker to go on late night OCSB dates with my partner and work colleagues. The potato pies are the best things I've ever tasted in my life

coffee was terribly bitter gave me indigestion ... followed by a migraine cup was one third froth ... if I wanted a SMALL cup of coffee, I'd have ordered a SMALL cup of coffee! poor quality pastries ... cheap ingredients ... high profit margin not for the discerning customer pies and pasties are not much more than cheap 'filler' doughnuts can be used as door stoppers ... heavy ... doughy ... and clearly cooked in oil that hasn't been changed in a looooooong time! the WORST quality, sickening, semblance of chocolate on top ... the only thing going for this place is that it's open all hours ... the 24/7 bakery on Norwood Parade is far superior ... particularly the service

This place is great if you want something quick with great flavor ,been coming here for a few years now, and have not been disappointed with there hot food. It's only my opinion but I would say some off there dessert could do with a bit more flavour but my husband likes them. Always get quick service even when they are very busy and staff are always friendly and polite. You must try the soups they are yummy. I hope they could expand their business to other area in adelaide

This bakery is THE BEST bakery I have ever been to. Walking here at 3am discussing the purpose of life and existence of God with my good friend Ev Mate has been one of my most enjoyable and spiritual experiences. My good acquaintance Todd earned the nickname Cakesy at this bakery on account of that he downed one of this bakery's delicious pastries in a single bite. I would highly reccomend this bakery to everyone when they are off their chops it is a great and eye-opening experience. Thankyou Bakery on O'Connell!

Bakeries are perfect for every meal/snack of the day and therefore a 24 hour bakery?! PERFECTION. Not to mention, the range in this one is possibly the largest I've ever seen. I love the "put-togetherness" of the place. Not too fancy, not too casual and in a perfect location. Thank you from the bottom of my stomach for being open when everyone else is closed :)

This bakery provides a great menu for breakfast or lunch and has a vast array of baked goods for sale. There are pies, pasties, sandwiches, salads, cakes etc. Service is excellent. Seating is very good.

This place is never empty despite opening 24/7. Perfect place if you crave for something sweet and light. Tried lots and lots of slices even took away some more. Must try is their Nutella Hearts. Their pies are so so.
